Bravo!!! Just watched it and it's very good. I connected with the words having had PND and still struggling with it.

Hope you are doing OK yourself?

P.S Beautiful child!

Makingdo .. I think that's a wonderful montage, your little girl is very gorgeous and I'm so happy you are feeling better.

Mind if I suggest that you go through the text and make sure that all the 'I' are upper case because I noticed one that wasn't (am ever the proof-reader )

brilliant though

From someone who has suffered pnd afer first 3 kids and am fighting to keep it at bay after having twins 12 weeks ago,that is so touching-so moving and so true.

watching this is really touching. i had pnd with ds1 and the guilt is really hard to get over, even more so when you have dc2 and you give them so much more of you. im currently pregnant with dc3 and pray that i wont get it again. (didnt with dd)

a great montage and would make a great campaign to urge mums to get help for themselves.

i no how hard it can be to admit. i told a women once (who i thought was a friend) that i had it and she never spoke to me again.

well done MD.

Its not easy.

Shitemum · 07/04/2008 20:32

I had PND after DD2 was born. I didn't get help because I was breastfeeding and I didn't want to be put on anti-depressants.
I was so used to being in control and coping and being ok and everything had been so easy with DD1 that it came as a real shock. I have never been in such a dark place in my life and the worst thing is once you've been there you never forget it, a little corner of your mind is always in shadow. Thank god I came out of it before I did any damage to myself or my DDs.

Makingdo - I'm sure you are making up for lost time now.
Good luck with the next baby.

P.S. I am the person who sent you the email about the typos/grammar on your website, hope you weren't offended and the offer still stands.

Just watched it, now crying my eyes out. I haven't been diagnosed with PND...yet. My dd is nearly three months and that's exactly how I feel. Got docs appt on Thursday and trying to steel myself to tell them I'm not ok, rather than lie as I have done since she was born.

I'm missing out on my daughter and I don't want to...

Many many tears

Perfect song for it too (was the first dance at my wedding so I love it anyway, but the words fit everything there so well)

Reading your feelings makes me relieved that I get antenatal depression rather than postnatal... I feel that I miss the happiness of the pregnancy, but not the guilt I wanna hug you all.

mankymummy · 08/04/2008 17:56

You are so brave coming through it and making that. I haven't cried for a long time but that has made my cry. You daughter is beautiful.

Proof reading it, only one comment... the "had had" together at the end is difficult to read. Perhaps you could word it slightly differently? "All I needed to have done" maybe? That sounds clumsy and I hope you dont mind me commenting, its a very, very small thing.

It's wonderful. I identify with a lot of what you put in there - I'm so glad you're feeling better, sad but with a positive ending.
